And now, the flipside (Newton)...

There's a Newton cover story too (link) :lol:

"I'm trying to be the best player that I can be," Newton said.

Only time will tell if Newton's best will be good enough on the NFL level. It certainly was in college.

His scintillating season at Auburn included an SEC-record 30 passing touchdowns and a school-record 20 rushing touchdowns at the school that produced running backs Bo Jackson and James Brooks. He threw just seven interceptions and didn't lose a single fumble.

It's all driven by the kind of competitive streak that has served many an NFL superstar well, and it shows up in how he's handled the multitude of personal successes and failures that have played out in the national spotlight.

"I'm a competitor. That's what I do. For anybody who knows me, they know I like to compete," Newton said. "What I did in the past is in the past. I'm all about the future. I'm trying to prepare today to make my future as best as it can be.

"I'm a confident person. It was instilled in me at a young age to believe in myself first and foremost. Because if I don't believe in myself, who do I expect to believe in me?"

Seemingly few people believed in Newton a little more than a year ago - and many football followers hadn't even heard of him – yet here he is now, on the precipice of a life-changing event that football fans everywhere will witness.

"For me, it's been extremely exciting," he said. "This whole path to where I am right now has been something of a whirlwind to say the least, but at the same time this is what I signed up for.

"I'm blessed. I can't even say that enough. To know 365 days ago I was attending class at Auburn and even the Auburn fans didn't even know what they were getting at this time last year. It's a wonder what God can do in a person's life - this fast."

No cutesy title to this one, though.

So same question? Omen or no omen?

(the other side of the story here)

Wonder if we'll have a Mallett story too.

I honestly think that the pick is going to be either Newton or Gabbert. I don't think that that either of those are the right pick, (I believe we should take Marcell Dareus, especially since he's shown he's more reliable than Nick Fairley) but I believe that we are going to take one of those two QBs.

and didn't we already profiled Mallet a while back? I could be wrong

Sort of. He was the featured pic for the general draft preview for the quarterback position. If they had a profile of him specifically, I missed it.

(quick look at the media archives doesn't show one)

There was a profile of Dareus (Dareus dares to be great) and one of Green (Green could catch on in a big way). They also looked at Robert Quinn, who we're not said to be considering.

Newton shows 10 times more confidence and charisma than Clausen, that is for sure.

I predict us drafting Newton, and starting him after the first half of the season. We may win 1-4 games with Clausen or Moore, and another 1-3 games with Newton.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      By Kentucky Panther · Posted

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
